Life doesn't always flow along where you think it's going to go.  You can try to fight it, but in the end, where you need to be is right where you are.

The cycles of nature.  It's all a mystery.   And It's OK to just let go when the time comes.

Noticing the beauty of ordinary things on an ordinary day before they're gone too soon.   Wishing for the luxury of an ordinary day after the pandemic.

Lovely Day

Bare Boards has the feel of an Alison Krauss song written to a Marc Cohn composition. It’s a story song that follows the life of an old house -- from the inspiration of the builder, to an eventual state of disrepair, to the ultimate decision to “do the work that love requires” and rebuild it. The house also functions as a metaphor for the self, and asks us to take a good look at “what we’re made of”.
